Yeah, crime rates and actual statistics don't matter at all to conservatives. The fact that even one murder happened needs that we need to be Tougher On Crime, which means dumping more money into the police budget hole and promptly forgetting about it until the next election cycle where a Democrat is in charge.

It is amusing when Garrison makes a cartoon that's supposed to be lionizing a Brave Patriot Warrior and it's someone you've never loving heard of if your primary news source isn't American Eagle Patriot News dot Biz. It happened quite a few times during the Obamagate days.

Space Cadet Omoly posted:Michelle Obama is not currently a politician, and has not once shown any interest in running for office, and yet the bullshit right-wing rumors that she'll try to become president ANY DAY NOW have been around for years and just will not die despite how obviously not based in reality they are. I think now that Hillary Clinton has been thoroughly defeated, right-wingers are trying to find another arch-nemesis quasi-supernatural Evil Woman that they can all rally around. Nancy Pelosi isn't powerful enough to be truly hated at the level they want, so they're aiming at Michelle Obama because she carries along plausibly-deniable sexism, racism, and transphobia (even though she's not trans, these loving idiots) all at once. The fact that she's not a politician is the only thing keeping it at the "she'll enter the race Any Day Now" level. The moment she shows any interest in any sort of public office, an entire industry will start churning out books accusing her of being the Antichrist.

Vib Rib posted:Just loving pathetic. "All we did was walk around and take pictures!" Yeah, right wing radio hosts will start a 15-minute segment with the "poor grandmas taking pictures are being tortured by the police (who are bad now)" schtick, gradually move towards "the cops let them in / they were all feds", and end the segment with "these heroes were completely justified and we're gonna do it again if Biden steals this election too, so watch your backs". Like, their supposed actual beliefs change as the narrative progresses and they get more and more riled up, it's kind of remarkable to view as an outsider.

Yeah, while Stonetoss might be occasionally worth looking at just as an alt-right temperature gauge, I definitely wouldn't want to see it regularly posted. Like as lovely as Branco and the rest are, their main goal isn't to directly inspire mass shootings. It's why we don't really talk about people like Nick Fuentes over in the right wing media thread even though he qualifies, there's no real entertainment value or insight you can derive from someone who just nakedly wants to inspire hate crimes.

InsertPotPun posted:"did you know: abortions end a pregnancy?" It is kind of amusing seeing "What is a woman?" portrayed as a cutting inquiry that rocks liberals to their very core and forces them to confront their sinful ways, and not as just a right-wing shibboleth worthy of an eye-roll and jerkoff hand motion. It's like creationists teaching their kids to ask "were you there?" to their science teacher once they start their units on evolution, as if that's going to change anything. ZZT the Fifth posted:Sinfest still gets posted in here even though it already has inspired at least one I still think that Sinfest has value being here because it is chronicling the author's downward spiral into right-wing hatred, and there's stuff to discuss about that. Stonetoss is just laundering Holocaust denial talking points by way of Twitter gotcha comics, so there isn't really anything interesting about it. Like if Sinfest ever does reach the point where it's Stonetoss levels of "haha wouldn't it be funny if black people went back to Africa (wow that'd be based actually)" then sure, get it out of here, but I don't think it's there yet.

Guavanaut posted:I'd love to hear Branco's definition of 'globalism' that doesn't immediately get real racist, homophobic, or antisemitic. Nailing down an exact definition of "globalist" either comes down to "anyone I don't like" or "Jews", and I'm pretty sure with Branco it's the first one. Like don't get me wrong, his answer's still gonna be bigoted as gently caress because he doesn't like other races, LGBT people, or Jews. But I don't think he's the type to pick up on the "crypto" part of cryptofascism so he just takes everything at face value. His caveman-level bigotry never coalesces into any grand narrative. Globalism is when a black guy punches a white guy.

Also, I didn't watch it myself, but the entire right wing media infrastructure immediately going "oh man Biden must have had his handlers give him Adderall or something" kinda makes it seem like the SOTU went pretty well for him and he didn't ramble or mumble or anything, since they would have immediately pounced on any flub to prove his obvious dimentia. Does Stiglich not understand the implications of the "old man yells at cloud" meme? Or is he just incapable of seeing Biden as anything other than the Oldest Old to ever Old (he's Old)? ... or did he just decide that drawing a comic was too hard that day, so he just ripped off a meme he saw on Truth Social once and called it good?

Pants Donkey posted:Is there any confirmed cannibalism? All I see are faked stuff like Halloween party photos falsely shown as racist fearmongering From what people have been able to determine, the videos currently circling the right wing media are a couple years old. Whether or not they're actually authentic is more up in the air, since it's very possible that it's a "ooh look how hosed up we are, don't gently caress with us" tactic that some gangs or cartels do, but they sure as poo poo aren't a fair descriptor of the current Haitian political or cultural state. Haiti looks pretty dire, don't get me wrong, but people here are mostly using it as an excuse to be super loving racist.

InsertPotPun posted:dei is just the new "politically correct", it's a separate thing than the transpanic, not meant to supplant it just support it. they can do both. Yeah, it's not that republicans are anywhere close to changing their stance or rhetoric on trans people, it's just we've reached the point of the election cycle where there's a lot of talk about illegal immigration, while simultaneously Charlie Kirk has figured out that you can absolutely get away with complaining about having to live alongside black people, you just gotta frame it right. So it's less that they care less about trans people, but now they're given less airtime because there are other minorities to bitch about as well. The moral panic may have lost focus just due to it being an election year, but it probably isn't going away anytime soon.

So many Evangelical shitheads spent yesterday screaming about how trans people actually have all the power in this country, and every TV show is full of transes so why do they even need a day of visibility, maybe we should ban gender-affirming care and jail all doctors who provide it just throwing that out there??

Even with him being a full-blown mask-off nazi for a hot minute now, it's still kinda jarring to be reminded that Ishida holds sex workers in the highest contempt. Like the image of a dolled-up trollop making a beckoning motion towards an older man obviously bothers him so deeply. He's been shouting about blood libel for so long that I almost forgot that Sinfest is fueled by his intense guilt every time he jerks off.

So I if I had to guess, some wires got crossed when it comes to his news sources. ... I shudder to think about Ishida's news sources.

It's just "take liberal politician (whom you hate), draw a bad caricature, draw stink lines around them and a voice bubble so they say 'I am evil!!!', send to publisher" a couple of times a week. Their art is atrocious but that's kind of the point. It's raw spite fueled by a half-remembered "how to draw cartoons" book published in 1973. It makes me "miss" the days of Chuck Asay, where he'd draw pleasant landscapes and cuddly-looking characters, but then you'd read the dialogue and go "Oh, he's advocating Rick Santorum for president" or "Wait, did he just call those child mass shooting victims pussies?"
